Maybe it's time to break out GIF construction set unregistered and make a model Axon out of card...That's educational, fun and it features an Axon, i suppose.And I can export it as AVI.I hope you don't mind PhotoBucket video hosting...

I think you guys are missing the spirit of what Admin wants. Usually the contests are educational (and this one can be too); but this time he wants (I dare say it) a 'commercial' for the Axon.

A "Ooo look how cool that robot is, i want to build one like it. What's that? I need an Axon to build it? I'll have to get one because it looks simple and powerful".

Animated Axons aren't going to capture that.

Some people don't like that he is hosting a contest for such a goal, but those people are selfish. For all that Admin does for us, for how he gives his life to this site, he has every right to ask us to help with a little advertising for the Axon.

That said I'm banking on winning by default because I choose to put my effort towards a tutorial, which isn't going to get people interested in Axons, just teach them how to use it. One decent cool robot video will blow me out of the water.

I understand what you mean Madsci, and I did think that it was a good way of selling Axons for Admin...An Axon to scale, in card, would be nice to stick on a trophy stand, while you're using an "original"

@Admin I don't have a video camera, but i can take still pictures and put them into GIF construction set.Then I can export as AVI

I know about movie maker, but it is painful to use (having 1GB of ram has downfalls)Non of my friends own video cameras, I am the resident Geek in my street...I do have a Digital camera but videos are 1 minute long, and like i said, Movie Maker hates 1GB of ram...

I had an idea for the 7th SoR Tutorial Contest (there is going to be a 7th one, right?)How about having a LEGO robotics competition!But we can use any LEGO kit that was ever produced!Might work, but I'd have an unfair advantage, I have a mountain of LEGO and 4 Mindstorms kits...
